For applicants to be eligible for selection for available places in Degree and Diploma programmes, Bahrain Polytechnic uses two broad sets of criteria: English competence for all programmes, and Specific criteria for each Diploma or Degree programme.
a) English Language Entry Requirements
Applicants must be competent in their use of the English language in reading, writing, speaking and listening, as demonstrated by:
- an official IELTS certificate no more than 6 months old with an average score of 5.0 or above and no individual band score less than 4.5 (equivalent English language assessment results from TOEFL or similar will also be considered); or
- successful completion of the Bahrain Polytechnic English for Academic Study 2 course; or
- passing the Bahrain Polytechnic English Language Entry Test at the required level Programme Entry Requirements
b) Programme-specific Entry Requirements
Applicants need to show competence in the use of personal computer applications and in fundamental mathematical processes. These requirements may be met by:
- Successful completion of Information Technology 1 and Data Analysis 1 of the Bahrain Polytechnic Foundation 1 programme; or
- Passing the Mathematics and IT selection tests at the required level.
* Where there are more students who meet the entry requirements than places available, a selection process against specific criteria will apply. Bahrain Polytechnic will give preference to those students who show the greatest promise of success as determined by applicants’ prior school achievement, the results from Polytechnic Entry Tests, and results from Bahrain Polytechnic courses (if applicable). Interviews may be used to clarify English academic achievement levels and to assist staff in selecting students motivated to succeed.
